Forest rangers have arrested a 52-year-old man in possession of the dismembered carcass of an Asian black bear, a dead civet and a long-barreled shotgun and ammunition.

据泰国《曼谷邮报》网站3月19日的消息：近日，泰国一名52岁的男子非法持有一头亚洲黑熊的尸块、一只麝香猫尸体、一支长管猎枪和弹药，遭到了公园护林员的抓捕。

Photos of the dead animals circulated on social media and sparked a frenzy of demands that authorities take the case seriously.

公众对社交媒体上流传的动物尸体照片感到极大愤怒，纷纷呼吁泰国当局严肃处理此事。

Pol Col Somcharn Pinkhanngern, chief of Ao Noi police station, said the arrest was made on Saturday by Kui Buri National Park rangers who, while on patrol, came across two men acting suspiciously.

One of them fled into the forest but the other, identified as Somjit Boonkong, 52, a resident of tambon Ao Noi in Muang district, was detained. In his backpack the rangers found a bear head, two bear paws, meat  and a gutted dead civet.

其中一名嫌疑人逃进了森林，而另一人身份确认是廊曼区奥内村（Ao Noi in Muang district）52岁的村民颂吉特·布空（Somjit Boonkong），目前已被拘留。在颂吉特的背包里，护林员发现了一只熊头、两只熊掌、被割下的熊肉和一只内脏被掏空的麝香猫。

He was carrying a shotgun, ammunition, two hunting headlamps, a hammock and other items.

颂吉特随身携带着一把猎枪、弹药、两个狩猎照明灯、一张吊床和其他物品。

The rangers suspect the man who fled had the rest of the bear and possibly the carcasses of other animals.

护林员怀疑，逃跑的涉案男子持有这头黑熊尸体的其余部分，也可能有其他猎物。

Mr Somjit was initially charged with illegal hunting of wildlife and having dead wildlife in his possession without permission or good cause.

颂吉特面临的初步指控是，在未经许可和无正当理由的情况下，非法捕杀野生动物，并持有野生动物尸体。

Pol Maj Gen Pattana Phetsyanawin, chief of Prachuap Khiri Khan police, said police knew the identity of the other man and would seek a court warrant for his arrest, and he would be caught.

泰国巴蜀（Prachuap Khiri Khan）警察局局长Pol Maj Gen Pattana Phetsyanawin表示，警方已确认了另一名嫌犯身份，正申请法院对他下达缉捕令，不日即能将其缉拿归案。

Asian black bears are protected under the 1992 Wildlife Protection Act. An adult bear is 1.2 - 1.5 metres long and can weigh 150-160kg.

泰国1992年实施的《野生动物保护法》将亚洲黑熊列为保护动物。一只成年亚洲黑熊身高可达1.2-1.5米，体重可达150-160千克。

Illegal possession of the carcass of a wild animal carries a maximum penalty of four years in prison and/or a fine of 10,000 baht.
